Servings 2 servings
Ingredients
Carrots
- ½ pound small carrots with part of greens still intact
- 2 teaspoons harissa powder blend see note
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
Beans
- 1 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 1 cup cooked Great Northern Beans drained and rinsed if using canned
- ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro and flat-leaf parsley
- 1 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons toasted pepitas
Instructions
- Preheat oven the oven to 400˚F. Rinse carrots well and trim greens so that about ½” of the stems are left. Quarter the carrots lengthwise, through the green stem. Place on a sheet tray along with the harissa powder and olive oil. Roast until browning and tender; 25 minutes or so.
- When the carrots are almost done, a small pan over medium-low heat and add olive oil. Add garlic and cook until golden; 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the beans, herbs, and lemon juice.
- Remove the carrots from the oven and scrap beans on top of carrots. Add the pepitas and toss well to combine.
Notes
Tips and Tricks: Many spice companies make a harissa blend. However, if you can't find the blend, use a premade or homemade harissa paste (I typically adjust based on how spicy the paste is- add about 2 tablespoons for more mild paste).
If the carrot greens look good- chop them up and add to the bean mix along with the cilantro and parsley.
